There are also issues in html aam about how those aren’t exactly right. I need to tidy it up over there first/or along with whatever is done here.

Also wanted to add current stable versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari show
termanddefinitionfor<dt>and<dd>respectively.<dl>seems to be inconsistent, with Safari showing no role and Chrome/Firefox returningdefinitionlistwhich may be a subclass oflist? Dunnokantoche commentedon Mar 1, 2025
Aria 1.3 had proposed three specific roles: "associationlist", "associationlistitemkey" et "associationlistitemvalue". But I can't find them in the current draft of the specification.
What happened to these three proposed roles?

They were removed again in w3c/aria#2095 in favor of simply "list", cf. https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#el-dl (alongside term/definition).
